Дополнительная информация

Historical Context: This Æ22 bronze coin, issued by Gadara between 71 and 72 AD, places it within Emperor Vespasian's early reign. Following the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors, Vespasian established the Flavian dynasty, bringing much-needed stability. This issuance date is particularly significant, occurring shortly after the conclusion of the First Jewish-Roman War, a conflict in which Vespasian himself played a pivotal role before his ascension. For Gadara, a prominent Decapolis city, minting coins bearing the emperor's image underscored its loyalty and integration into Roman provincial administration, reflecting the new imperial order in the eastern Mediterranean.
